PROFILE of Italian movie director, Federico Fellini. At the moment he is filming "Giulietta of the Spirits", in technicolor, with Giulietta Masina, Mario Pisu, Sandra Milo, Valentina Cortese, Lou Gilbert, and others. Fellini tells what he wants to say in this picture. "In this new picture, I want to help Italian women to become free from a certain kind of conditioning produced by the middle-class marriage. They are so full of fear. They are so full of idealism. I want them to try to understand that they are alone, and that is not a bad thing. To be alone is to be all of yourself. Italian women have this myth of the husband. I want to show that it is sentimental, this myth. At the same time, my picture of the Italian husband is a little bit confused and not completely honest."
